The Baking Bible: Coconut Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Ganache

Hello bakers! We moved, Eliot had a second birthday, I found most of my baking gear. Not in that order. But anyway, these cupcakes were so easy to make that I couldn't find an excuse to skip them. Plus, they only require egg whites so I got to break down a bit more of my egg white stash!

cupcake!

Here's some pictures, and for the record, we loved these cupcakes. I think I may have overbaked them a bit as they were a bit crumbly. I love the combination of coconut and chocolate. I've been meaning to check, but the recipe seems like it is pretty much the same as her basic white cupcake, just using coconut milk instead of cow's milk. I didn't have any coconut extract and the coconut flavor was mild but present. Like I said, we really enjoyed these.

What Kind Of Cake This Is

Eat My Cake isn't really a recipe book. However, scroll on down and you'll find a tag cloud--click on recipe and you'll find those that I've published or linked to. Scroll on down some more and you'll find a list of the books I bake out of the most. Most importantly, stick around, read about my baking escapades, learn a thing or two, and start preheating your oven.
